Yay!!! Mission Accomplished.

Hello my dear pupil. I’ve decided to go over the Twilight Script. You keep calling the characters constipated or creepy or sociopaths when they are perfectly good characters, so I just obviously have to show you what they were trying to portray. I’m such a good teacher.

[edwards-diamond]

No! Don’t you see why I love it so much? The glitz, the glamour the swooping cameras and the extreme close-ups, the glittery skin and ghostly white skin. ALL these things that you’re saying are wrong are exactly what makes Twilight so perfect.

We're getting to the end. There is a twist concerning the owner of the Twilight account. I hope this isn't hard to follow. I'll cry if it is - God

Sontag Note 38, 26, 18, 19:

"Camp is the consistently aesthetic experience of the world. It incarnates a victory of "style" over "content," "aesthetics" over "morality," of irony over tragedy. (38)

“Camp is art that proposes itself seriously, but cannot be taken altogether seriously because it is “too much”.(26)

"One must distinguish between naïve and deliberate Camp. Pure Camp is always naive. Camp which knows itself to be Camp ("camping") is usually less satisfying" (18)

"The pure examples of Camp are unintentional; they are dead serious." (19)

Analysis:  Twilight uses all these elements to evoke some type of feeling whether it be anticipation or trepidation,  excitement or fear. What ends up happening, is the opposite of what they want. They use the wrong tools to evoke the wrong feeling or the too much of something to the point that it either seems cringey or satire. Twilight doesn't know it failed or that it's too much as it consistently uses glitz and glam to cover up personality flaws or cringey acting making it pure camp.

Let’s continue with Edward (3:58 - 4:20). As all his siblings walk in and they get their introductions, there he goes. He walks in tall, handsome, and obviously the most handsome sibling, I mean look at him. One shot and a short introduction and you can already tell that he’s that b*tch. He’s caring and smart, tall, handsome, well-off, and handsome.

... Anyway, let's look at the first line she says in the movie (0:19 - 0:37), and in the script, she follows it up by saying “So I can't bring myself to  regret the decision that brought me here to die.”It gives us an immediate insight into Bella as a person, she’s thoughtful, mature, and contemplative. To back up my point, she is described as  “a vulnerable, introverted, imperfect beauty.”

Sontag Note 32, 

"Camp is the glorification of "character.""

Analysis: They glorify Bella's character by making her entire personality revolve around the narrative that she is an imperfect beauty. She's dainty, and pretty but she doesn't know that she's pretty and that's what make her "special". Bella uniqueness is only in what she has to offer people. She's so perfect that the only thing that stops her from being perfect is the fact that she's human. 

They try to make Bella so "perfect" expect the audience to act serious when she doesn't react to situations the way normal people do. She's "vulnerable" and "introverted" but also independent so she ends up being a one hit wonder in terms of personality.
